Feels like im losing everything

My partner had a stroke on new years day, got out of hospital at the start of March and has had no support aside from physio, he cant speak, he has none of the necessities to be safely left on his own so as of March ive moved in with him, but its impossible, ive tried so much to try and help him however I possibly can, anything to keep him fighting and trying to get better. But now he doesnt seem to want me around anymore, hes locked me out the house twice already and I know its only a matter of time before he decides not to open the door, dumps all my stuff outside and kicks me out back to my own house. I dont know the man im looking at anymore, it feels like the man I fell in love with is dead and I dont know how to deal with any of it, ive got absolutely no support, my family dont understand what im going through, as supportive as they are, they cant support me through this, and im barely holding together anymore. I dont want to lose him, but it feels like im already too late for that. I have tried to reach out to nearby organisations for help and support but no matter who I speak to im told the same thing "youre not his next of kin so we cant do anything for you". I want to help him get better but instead im watching him get worse and im totally helpless

Im having trouble with directX

So im trying to play the new release of subnautica, ive checked my system, it meets the minimum requirements to run the game, but when I try to run it I am given the following error: "DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument"

Now I have also checked with my directX diagnostic tool and it shows my system is already successfully running DirectX 12, the very version that my game is claiming my system does not support. Ive tried to find solutions to this but im not able to find any helpful information anywhere

So my friend recently got a baby hognose for her oldest daughter, and he seems to be absolutely loving life there, but when she was feeding she was telling me how he would only ever eat if hes being held and the food is presented right to him, I found this odd because everything I know about snakes suggests the opposite should be done, and you absolutely shouldn't handle them while or after feeding, but she explained how shes tried to feed him without handling and he just doesnt seem to bother, he wont seek out the food. He is only a few months old just now, is this something that might change as he gets bigger or is it even normal that he wont eat unless assisted in this manner? Im not sure because my snake experience comes from my two adult snakes, ive never dealt with hatchlings before

Ive got some tomatoes and salad leaf plants here, wondering if they might be ready to get introduced to more sun or if i should wait a while longer, ive grown tomato plants before but sadly ive failed to care for them correctly thus have never had any fruit from them and they inevitably die out so I dont want to make that mistake with these

So ive got this 8, coming 9 year old male corn snake, now ive always assumed hes simply a normal, but hes very big, last time I measured his shed (almost 2 years ago cause its been impossible to get a full shed all in one since), and he measured in at 5 foot 2 inches long. I never thought much of it, but i recently had to ask my friend to care for him and my other snake for a while because ive got other things going on, and my friends daughter, whos learning really fast about snakes, she was talking to someone who according to her knows a fair bit about corn snakes, and they said that he may have something else in his genes because males dont typically get as large as he is, so i decided to come here and get some advice, I still think hes a normal, but is there possibly some other morph in him? Please excuse the lack of clutter in his enclosure, he only got it very recently and we're still working on getting more stuff to add

So my partner had a stroke on new years day, he got home from hospital at the start of March, he can walk, he has the use of his left, non dominant, arm, but thats it. There were carers for the first 2 days he was home but they havent been in since and no one knows why cause theres been no communication with his social worker since he got home. Hes not getting any speech therapy. My issue here is, hes getting no help, except the occasional physio appointments and regular appointments with the doctor where there seems to constantly be an issue with getting his medication, but ive been trying so hard to get him working with me to do things that are good for his recovery, especially things that hes been ordered to do by his doctors, but every time it just results in a fight and him yelling at me, I cant even get him trying to do any vocal training or try to say any word other than no. I cant advocate on his behalf with the professionals because im not his next of kin, me and his mother agree that hes rather clearly regressing, hes getting worse, hes actually lost some of the mobility he had in his right arm, hes speaking even less than when he was in hospital, and his speech is the biggest thing holding him back, but I dont know how to help get him to try speaking, ive showed the stroke nurse the list I had written of words he has said, even if only once or barely said the word, she said that id need a much bigger list before he would be offered speech therapy, but with him getting worse by the days and weeks, I cant expand that list enough to get him the professional help that me and his family have known from the start that he needs. It feels like hes just given up and I dont know what I can do, hes not even got as many visitors coming since he got home, his best friend was the biggest part of that list of words I had written but he wont come round to his house to visit for whatever reason. Everything's just a mess and I have no idea what to do when everything I try to do does nothing anyway, last time I made a post lots of people suggested things that could help my partner, but he wont try anything
